For streamers and content creators, having a capable microphone that captures your voice clearly is very important, not only for better communication, but for better quality of your content as well.

The QuadCast’s microphone offers multi-device chat compatibility, and is also certified by TeamSpeak and Discord. There included mount adapter that fits both 3/8″ and 5/8″ thread sizes and should work with most stands and boom arms.
It’s a device designed to meet the demands of PC, PS4, and Mac users for professional or aspiring streamers.
